This project has been created to better organize information in, and improve articles related to rock music. This page and its subpages exist to help focus the efforts of other Wikipedians by being a central directory of articles, with specific and general tasks. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and Wikipedia:WikiProject/Best practices.

If you have any inquiries relating to the Rock music WikiProject, you can ask:

To-do: edit · history · watch · refresh
  • Find and add more articles to be part of the WikiProject (includes adding them under the appropriate heading and putting {{WPRock}} on the talk page).
  • Add {{WPRock disco}} to any appropriate articles
  • Invite more users to join WikiProject.
  • Change infobox genre to most appropriate and most general term to quell small edit wars, unless consensus has been reached on specifics. (ie. Stoner rock / Psychedelic rock → Rock)
  • Give ratings to Unassessed rock music articles.

Contents

[edit] Articles

Articles that fall under the WikiProject should be listed here under the appropriate heading. If there is no specific heading it can fall under, it should be listed under "Other". Don't be afraid to add new articles if they relate to rock music. Song or album articles, as {{WPRock disco}} says, should not be listed here unless it is of high importance and/or of good/featured status.

Please list articles in alphabetical order.

This is the current ratings of all rock music articles. Song/album articles employing {{WPRock disco}} are also displayed here. We have many Unassessed articles at this time. If you are very good at judging article quality and have the time to do so, that would be great. -- Reaper X 18:39, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
